This stately mansion, which dates from the end of the 19th century, is one of several period houses on Ptge d’Isobel in the Gràcia district.

  • Cultural heritage

Foreshadowing the Catalan Art Nouveau that would come to dominate Barcelona some years later, Andreu Audet included floral motifs in stone in 1893, breaking the exposed brick façade, using blue and white ceramic mosaics with geometric designs to enliven it.
Standing in Passatge Isabel, it is a unique urban-planning feature dating from the 19th century and is listed in the city’s heritage catalogue.
There you can admire a leafy Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), listed as being of local interest, for its exceptional lushness.

Observacions

Tot i ser anterior al modernisme que s'imposaria a Barcelona anys després, el 1893 Andreu Audet ja va incloure motius florals en pedra, trencant la façana de maó vist, i va emprar mosaics ceràmics en blau i blanc amb dibuixos geomètrics per donar-li vida.

Ubicada al passatge d'Isabel, es tracta d'un element urbanístic únic que data del segle XIX i que està inclòs en el catàleg de patrimoni de la ciutat.
